Is anyone else looking forward to an iPad Mini Pro?
Is anyone else looking forward to an iPad Mini Pro? I love the iPad Mini models and my iPad Mini 2 works great. I am waiting to update the Mini 2 to another iPad but the iPad Mini 3 and 4 didn't seem like worthy upgrades. Apple would then have an iPad Mini Pro, iPad Pro 9.7, and iPad Pro 12inch. Would y'all even buy an iPad Mini Pro?

I have a suspicion that the Mini line's days are numbered. It's being cannibalized by phablets.

Generally I agree with you, but given Apple's position and declining sales of the iPad I don't think they're willing to leave a given market segment. I largely stopped using my mini when I got my iPhone 6 plus (I'm now using an SE), but with apple looking to tap every market segment I think they'll keep the mini going.

It all boils down to dollars and cents. If the Mini line is still profitable they'll keep making it. Apple is very secretive when it comes to many things, including individual product sales, so only they really know.

Ultimately yes, but Apple may accept lower profits, if they think its protecting their market as well. Still your point is valid, just look at the 17" MBP. Beloved buy a quite few people, yet Apple killed it off.

I think on the smaller screen, pencil support isn't that worthwhile. With that being said, I just hope they continue to update the mini line. Finally putting in a decent processor and retina display was nice.

meh, the iPad Pro 9.7 is perfect IMO. For me the mini is just too small. I've tried using one and i was always left with the feeling of "if only i had more screen space".

Yup, I agree with Matty, the baby pro is perfect as is.
